Chapter 8: Celestial Beings from Beyond the Heavens

The bullet whistled through the air, resembling a celestial being descending from the heavens, accurately striking the head of the main gunner, with a dazzling spray of blood erupting forth, as the main gunner fell to the ground, lifeless

Well done, indeed quite capable

Taking advantage of the confusion among the Japanese troops, Liu Zhengfeng quickly shot and killed another main gunner

Hu Tiande, how many are left in your class

Liu Zhengfeng lay on the large rock, overlooking the entire battlefield from a high vantage point

However, the Japanese army quickly sent out two individuals to replace the two gunners who had been killed, setting up the grenade launcher and preparing to load the shells

However, if the Japanese army discovers their position, they are also likely to be subjected to artillery attacks from the Japanese army, let's wait and see

Hu Tiande frowned, having seen the 38-type cap on Liu Zhengfeng's head the night before, but he had forgotten to ask: "Where did this thing come from?"

Squad Leader Xue Qingshan approached at an unknown time

Hu Tiande frowned slightly, following Liu Zhengfeng's gaze to glance at the large rock, and his expression turned serious

Company Commander He Minghong, with red eyes, shouted hoarsely.

Yes

Hu Tiande watched Xue Qingshan leave and began to arrange the positions for Liu Zhengfeng and Wu Erdan to fight

Liu Zhengfeng's fierce eyes widened as he decisively pulled the trigger

Liu Zhengfeng felt a heavy weight in his heart, knowing that two more members of his squad had been killed in the recent artillery bombardment by the Japanese army

It is good that he is not dead, prepare for battle

Liu Zhengfeng had long retreated, his body curled up into a ball, gasping for breath

Just as he was feeling pleased, a deafening cannon fire jolted him awake, bringing him swiftly back to reality

He lay flat on the ground, as it was now the time for the Japanese army's shelling; he certainly would not foolishly run to the front lines to be bombed.

Are you the class monitor or am I the class monitor? I see you are afraid of dying, hiding so far away? Last night you were behaving so well, how come you are back to how you used to be all of a sudden?

Taking advantage of the moment when the Japanese machine gunner was changing magazines, he quietly crawled to the right for more than 10 meters to change his position and shoot the enemy.

Those who are not dead and can still breathe, hurry up and get to the front lines, the Japanese invaders are preparing to attack

At dawn, Hu Tiande sent someone to replace Liu Zhengfeng and Wu Erdan

After half an hour, the sound of the Japanese artillery finally ceased

Alright, you can handle it as you see fit

The advance of the Japanese army is rapid, and they are now less than 200 meters from our positions. The machine gun positions have also moved forward with the infantry and have already entered Liu Zhengfeng's range

Liu Zhengfeng loaded the bullet into the chamber and placed his right hand on the trigger. Just as he was about to pull the trigger, he suddenly saw two groups of Japanese soldiers with grenade launchers rushing to the front line.

At that moment, the Japanese commander suddenly shouted frantically, and the Japanese forces unleashed a furious barrage of both light and heavy fire towards Liu Zhengfeng's position above.

At 9:00 in the morning, the Japanese army began its attack

Class monitor, I believe my combat position should be there

Hu Tiande sneered, "That large rock is at least one hundred meters away from here, and there is about two hundred meters between us and the enemy. Can you still hit the enemy?"

The distance is less than 300 meters

In the sky, the sunlight hides behind a thin layer of clouds, and visibility is good

At this moment, the Japanese commander's attention was also drawn to Liu Zhengfeng's position, and he loudly ordered the machine gunners to open fire on Liu Zhengfeng

The battlefield was filled with wails, blood and flesh flying everywhere, with severed limbs and dismembered bodies scattered all around. Even though Liu Zhengfeng was someone who had waded through a sea of blood, he still felt a wave of convulsions in his stomach.

Xue Qingshan frowned and glanced at Liu Zhengfeng

Liu Zhengfeng's expression was resolute: "Squad leader, please believe me, I can better eliminate the enemy there"

Southeast wind at level 1

Hu Tiande scolded, "Damn it, if it weren't for the two of you, I would have been left as a lone commander."

Statistics of the number of students in each class and each row

Liu Zhengfeng crouched low, navigating through the billowing smoke of the trench, and found his squad leader, Hu Tiande

He had suffered greatly from the enemy's mortars; just yesterday, two soldiers from his unit had died under the shells of the Japanese mortars. Now that the Japanese gunner had been killed and the mortars were silenced, he could hardly contain his joy.

Hu Tiande weakly extended three fingers

This location not only avoids the direct firepower of the front line but is also situated more than 10 meters higher than the position, making it a relatively ideal sniping spot

Liu Zhengfeng quickly got up and ran to the top of the mountain, where he saw the battlefield ahead shrouded in smoke, with thick clouds billowing and the sounds of agonizing screams sending chills down one's spine

Although Liu Zhengfeng did not feel tired, he still returned to the rear of the position to catch up on sleep, knowing that one cannot resist the laws of nature

The air is dry

Liu Zhengfeng smiled and said, "What we seized during the day yesterday, can you please trust me, squad leader?"

Hu Tiande suddenly recalled what He Ming had instructed, that he need not concern himself with him, but only pay attention to his performance, and thus he nodded slightly

Hu Tiande was momentarily taken aback, and suddenly broke into a wide grin, his heart filled with joy.

Hu Tiande felt a chill in his heart and quickly raised his gun to aim. Just as he was about to pull the trigger, the two grenade throwers suddenly fell to the ground, having been shot, with only a brief moment in between, almost in the blink of an eye

Hu Tiande witnessed with his own eyes the two grenade launcher gunners being shot dead, and immediately afterward, the Japanese machine gun fire crazily targeted that large rock. He suddenly understood that the two Japanese soldiers had just been killed by Liu Zhengfeng

Liu Zhengfeng grinned, lifted the Type 38 rifle, and ran behind the large rock

These two grenade launcher barrels are relatively short, likely belonging to the Type 10 grenade launcher from the Taisho era. Its range is less than 200 meters, but its power should not be underestimated. Liu Zhengfeng immediately abandoned the machine gunner and instead aimed at one of the grenade launcher operators

Before long, Wu Erdan also arrived at the front line.

The Japanese army set up machine guns at the foot of the mountain, with two Type 24 light machine guns and one Type 92 heavy machine gun commencing a frenzied barrage to cover the infantry's advance, which consisted of approximately one company.

He sadly discovered that his unit actually did not have even a single machine gun. It was said that there was originally a Czech light machine gun, but it was destroyed yesterday by a Japanese grenade launcher.

Liu Zhengfeng knew that the Japanese infantry was about to launch an attack, so he quickly ran towards his own position

The earth seemed to tremble, and Liu Zhengfeng's face changed color. This was a combined strike from the 105 mm howitzer and the 92 mm infantry gun, a force to be reckoned with. The Japanese devils must be going mad.

One could only see shells whistling as they came, the sound of explosions rising and falling in succession. Before long, the Japanese artillery extended its fire, and the entire position was struck, leaving a scene of utter devastation.

Liu Zhengfeng did not follow Hu Tiande's arrangement and pointed to a large rock in the left rear.

Liu Zhengfeng raised the Type 38 rifle in his hand and said: "The Type 38 rifle has an effective range of 460 meters, and it still possesses lethality at over 1,000 meters"

He quickly fell into a deep sleep, and in his dream, he envisioned that his novel had become a sensation at a certain point, garnering a million collections and ranking among the top ten bestsellers, with money flying in like snowflakes

The dense bullets swept in like a torrential storm, striking against the large rock with a series of bangs... The fragments of the stone flew everywhere

The firepower of our several dozen Hanyang rifles is truly pitiful; how can we possibly withstand the Japanese army's offensive
